For C, you can't beat the dead tree bundle by Kernighan and Richie.
C++ used to be closely related to C, but nowadays knowing C can
actually be a detriment to learning to use C++ effectively.

Check out the Association of C and C++ Users, http://www.accu.org/ .

ISO ratified C++ in 1998 (I think). ISO C++ is a significant advance
over the earlier C++ versions, which were awfully divergent. The
various compiler vendors (including Redhat/Cygnus who "vend" g++) have
pretty much caught up with the ISO standard. Most of the C++ projects
I've worked on have migrated to ISO C++ or are migrating.
C99, if that's what it's called, has been largely ignored by the
industry. I wouldn't worry about it too much -- ANSI C (ratified in
the early 1980s?) is what most projects use today.
